Stilbenes in the roots of and were studied. Root samples were extracted with 100% methanol and analyzed by HPLC and LC-MS. In this way, -resveratrol dimers (/ 455 Da [M + H]), trimers (/ 681 Da [M + H]) and tetramers (/ 907 Da [M + H]) were identified in the extracts.

Two winter and two summer episodes (year 2021) with higher organic concentrations and similar wind directions were selected for NMR analyses. The concentration profiles of 61 water-soluble organic compounds were determined by NMR Aerosolomics and a principal component analysis (PCA) was performed on this dataset.

An increased number of PC samples enabled a subdivision of the group according to individual PC stages and the construction of predictive models for finer classification of at-risk individuals recruited from patients with recently diagnosed diabetes mellitus. High-performance values of orthogonal partial least squares (OPLS) discriminant analysis were found for discrimination between individual PC stages and both control groups.

Concentration data of 58 metabolites enabled discrimination of pancreatic cancer (PC) patients from healthy controls (HC) and long-term type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients. A panel of eight metabolites was proposed and successfully tested for group discrimination.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFNuclear magnetic resonance aerosolomics was proposed as a new approach to the analysis of the water-soluble organic compound fraction in aerosol particulate matter. The identification of individual compounds is based on a comparison of precise chemical shifts in the H NMR spectrum with the signals in the standards library. For this purpose, Chenomx metabolomics software and a comprehensive spectra library of 150 compounds known from chemistry of aerosols were used.
